Y'know, I've sort of unofficially stepped down form neo and stuff because every time I come back, it's a fleeting thing and I never stay around for too long. But I've still got my sketch from last year around, so if I can find the time between my OCT stuff and school I'm in! We'd love to have you if you have the time! I totally understand. For the first time, I'm really unsure if I'll have the time for the collab! Maybe if my twin and I do something together... |

Haha! xD I'll see if Brian's up for it, yeah. I'm no artist, but we could try to do either a silly short or an article.  |

My comic is done! Should I wait a little more before submitting it? =) Just for a little bit of fun I decided to show a zoomed in image of my comic. It doesn't show too much, but... |

I might participate in this if I can come up with a good idea in time. I love April Fool's collabs. :D

OK I will not miss out on this collab, no one let me back out >( Ideas, yes, things start with ideas. I did have some of those at some point, right. Need to figure out whether to use actual Wraiths or Wraith Aipoen pets, or both. Wraith pet stuck in Neopia and trying to get back? I included a bottled wraith thing in my twisted history series a few years ago, maybe I could explore that some more. Bizarro Balthazar, Wraith hunters. I've been trying to picture a Wraith's family and/or friends waiting anxiously for it to return from the other side after it was summoned to participate in Xandra's big party. Otherwise, exploring a relationship between a Wraith and a Wraith pet, maybe in the same style as Faeries protecting Neopians. I picture Wraithland as gloomy and overcast, so the inhabitants might be very sensitive to lights and vivid things in general. (Haha, now my ideas are here I cannot lose them!) |

So I was procrastinating as usual on my assignments (which is what I do best  ) and I came up with a short story idea.  The idea is to begin my mini short story horror/comedy series which I'm going to call Tails Of The Crypt. The story will be about a toy-maker who accidentally creates an Adorable Wraith Plushie that is magical and comes to life full-sized and tries to take over Neopia.The toy-maker has to try and get the plushie back to Wraithland before it's to late and it destroys everything in sight. I was wondering if anyone would want to create a few images I could use in my story or a thumbnail. This would count as a collaboration and might look neat. A member from my guild will be doing the illustrations for this story.  ^This is a customization I did of Henry, the narrator of the story. |

I'm still ruminating on the specifics of my idea. I've got the rough concept and a few ideas for visuals and characters down, but there's no real meat to the story at the moment. Hrmm...

Carolyn -- All right X3 I actually managed to come up with a possible conflict just from thinking about it after writing that post, so I'll see what you guys think. Okay, so the general idea is that I want to play off of this headcanon I have where Brynn got the title "Wraithslayer" after she defeated Oblivion. (The story itself will quite possibly be called "Wraithslayer," in fact.) This... obviously isn't a great thing in a universe where it's revealed that Wraithland/Aiopen exists (er, a universe parallel to one where it exists), and it doesn't help that she developed a bit of a fear/wariness of wraiths after the whole Xandra disaster. The general concept, at least as it stands now, is that she meets with the captain or some such important member of the Wraithland guard to discuss cross-dimensional security or something and has to deal with her anxiety and the issues caused by her no-longer-appropriate title. So, on its own the concept would pretty much just be a bunch of inner monologue and characters talking about stuff, which could probably be pulled off if I wrote it right, but I want something with a bit more action. Right now, I'm thinking a good external conflict to underscore everything might come from the two guards meeting only to be interrupted by some extremist Neopians/Aiopens/both attacking them or trying to force the portal closed or something, and the guards have to work together to stop them, and in the end this helps to kind of... solidify the relationship between the two worlds a bit more. Or something. I don't know. Thoughts? *cries because she doesn't have the imagination to ever write about more than the same two characters*

There's some really fantastic ideas in this thread. I have a few myself that I probably won't be using once I've decided which one I'm investing in. Maybe we could have a Wraithland idea bank for any discarded ideas? For people who want to participate but who are struggling to think of things? If anyone would like to collaborate on this uh...collaboration, do PM me. I have a few ideas, but they are extremely vague at the moment. Mostly, I'd want to write a short story or a short series. You can find most of my NT writing here, but maybe don't read my latest piece for an idea of my style, because it was a big departure for me and is not representative of my usual writing. |

Wow, I haven't done this in a really long time.
I can't even remember the Wraiths' motivations for the invasion - they weren't purposefully summoned by Xandra in the first place, were they? Though she did summon Oblivion at the end.
Did they just see the suddenly open portals and think "yummy magic NOM NOM" and dive in?
Or did we have so little canon information that this is entirely open to interpretation? >_>

(she says that they were an unintended consequence when she tries to turn hanso TO THE DARK SIDE). Faerie magic keeps the wraiths away (and an important part of that magic is faerie quests, since they strengthen the bond between Neopet and faerie). |

) and I came up with a short story idea.
